History
The site of Per-Ptah, meaning "House of Ptah", lies some 90 km south of Aswan and received a temple dedicated to pharaoh Ramesses II. Some of the architectural and sculptural remains of the temple were dismantled and relocated to the site of New Kalabsha in the 1960s during the construction of the Aswan High Dam.
